A Safe, Supportive School Community for Families Relocating from the Middle East
Relocating your family, especially in unexpected or challenging circumstances, can feel overwhelming. At ACS International Schools, we are here to meet you where you’re at to ensure stability, continuity, and a warm welcome for your child during this important transition.
We educate over 2000 students in a broadly selective, co-educational environment aged 2 to 18 from more than 80 countries. Across our three campuses in Greater London (Cobham, Egham, and Hillingdon) we offer a welcoming international community and provide a world-class education, delivered through a broad, flexible curriculum, alongside exceptional sports and co-curricular programmes.
We understand what matters most to families moving from the Middle East: a school that feels safe, welcoming, and ready to help your child settle quickly and confidently into a new environment.
Continuity in learning
We understand that many students are joining us from different educational pathways. Whether your child has been studying the IB programme, or a US style academic pathway or other national curriculum, we provide a seamless transition into:
- The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme
- Advanced Placement (AP) courses
- The US High School Diploma
Our academic teams ensure your child can continue their education with confidence, clarity, and the right level of support.
